So I bought an iPad pro back in 2016. I have really enjoyed it but my son eventually "stole" it from me and plays it a lot. I don't mind because he does his ABC mouse and he gets more use out of it than I was. Well today he dropped it walking to the car and cracked the screen. I'm dumb and should have carried it for him but I was in a hurry and had my 7 month old with me too.
I did some research and decided that it would be better to replace it with the 2018 iPad 9.7 so I could get the 128 vs 32 gb and also put apple care on it since it will be kids using it. (I'm getting a new pro for xmas that they wont be allowed to touch, the maniacs!) It was only a little more than what it would have cost to repair the screen. Then I put the cracked screen pro on FB yard sale for $150 and have been inundated with messages...so that should sell quick.
Anyways I saw that the A10 chip got a slightly better rating than then a9X and I was expecting to not really notice any difference in the tablets. Right off the bat the finish is obviously cheaper. The pro had a nice solid feel to it especially the screen. The iPad normal feels a tad flimsy...but thats to be expected. My biggest issue...it feels SLOW to me. I went right to download one of his favorite games from the app store and it took forever to download. Theres a delay when searching on the app store as well.
Is this normal? Shouldn't I expect it to perform at least on par with a 2 year old iPad Pro?
Thanks in advance.
